The five oceans cover 70% of our planet’s surface. Due to human interference, massive levels of pollution and global warming, they are in immediate danger.

By aligning our core values with Lewis Pugh and his Foundation, FXTM aims to play a part in keeping our global marine ecosystem clean, healthy and flourishing.

There is no green, without blue.
